What does the text say? A Sand County Almanac is a book comprised of a few essays for each month of the year.
• JULY - Great Possessions describes the array of birds and animals that can be seen at the farm before dawn as more precious “possessions” than the Leopold’s “worldly domain”. Prairie Birthday is about the small flower with strong, deep roots called Silphium.
• AUGUST - The Green Pasture depicts the silt ribbon on a river shore and its lush, temporary vegetation as an “evanescent painting” of no less value or visual greatness than man-made art.
• SEPTEMBER - The Coral Copse finds the “peculiar virtue in the music of elusive birds”, whose day break songs become sparse during autumn, and therefore are so precious when heard.
• OCTOBER
